Minn. rally shows GOP rift on health exchange bill

A rally in the Capitol rotunda Thursday
highlights a Republican rift over a piece of the federal health
care overhaul.

Several Republican lawmakers are appearing to oppose a GOP bill
that would establish a state health insurance exchange. The federal
law requires states to start the exchanges for consumers to buy
insurance when the overhaul takes full effect in 2014.

The Citizens Council for Health Freedom rally features GOP Reps.
Doug Wardlow and Mary Franson and Sens. Gretchen Hoffman and Sean
Nienow. They are backing legislation to prohibit the
exchange.
